Cambodia2014-41It’s our last day in Cambodia and it is bittersweet! I have enjoyed my time here but am also ready to get home.  Today started out going to church.  Church is fun but definitely longer than in the states.  Last Sunday we invited the family from our service project to church and they came.  This Sunday, they came back!  It was a happy moment when we all saw them this morning. God new what he was doing when he gave us that family this trip. I hope they continue to go to church even after we leave. After church we had a free afternoon.  For me, it was a relaxing afternoon and for others it was a shopping spree! Tonight we took an hour boat ride along the river.  As soon as we arrived to the boat it started storming.  Can’t say that I didn’t enjoy the rain because it made it feel amazing outside! It was extremely hot but the rain cooled it off.  We had finally escaped the heat for a little bit. Even though it stormed, it was a fun time to be with everyone one last night! I will miss Cambodia and all the loving, beautiful people. I will also miss our wonderful group that we have made into a family. It was a great experience and feel so blessed to have been able to come to this beautiful country.
